点评:The second attraction in Ely was visiting the Dorothy Molter Cabin and Museum.
Known as the “Root Beer Lady” (1907-1986), she lived for 56 years on Knife Lake (Isle of Pines), northeast of Ely, MN, just south of the Canadian border. She gained national prominence and extensive coverage in media, books and documentaries, and over the years tens of thousands of canoeists stopped by to visit and drink her homemade root beer. Molter first visited her future home (The Isle of Pines Resort) on Knife Lake in 1930 and it became her home in 1934. Until the mid/late 1940s, the Isle of Pines resort was typical of many north woods resorts. It was reachable by seaplanes and motorboats, and later by snowmobiles as they came into use.
After the BWCAW (the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness) was designated, nearly all motorized transportation to Molter's lodge was eliminated, and residences, buildings, businesses and the few roads from the wilderness were removed, leaving Molter as the only full-time resident in a wilderness area three times the size of Rhode Island. After her death, her cabin was dismantled and moved to Ely. Her residence and a second cabin of hers were reconstructed there, and the Dorothy Molter Museum was established to preserve her legacy. We enjoyed exploring the museum. The more I read about her, the more I admired her and her lifestyle, which must have brought her so much happiness! There were several birch bark pieces that Dorothy used to make notes; in fact, sometimes I also use bark to write letters to my friends!
翻译:伊利的第二个景点是参观多萝西莫尔特小屋和博物馆。
她被称为“根啤酒女士”(1907-1986),她在明尼苏达州伊利东北部、加拿大边境以南的刀湖(松岛)生活了 56 年。她在全国享有盛誉,并在媒体、书籍和纪录片中得到广泛报道,多年来,数以万计的皮划艇运动员前来参观并饮用她自制的根汁汽水。 1930 年,莫尔特首次参观了她未来在刀湖 (Knife Lake) 上的家(松树岛度假村),并于 1934 年成为她的家。直到 20 世纪 40 年代中后期,松树岛度假村一直是许多北方森林度假村的典型。可以乘坐水上飞机和摩托艇到达,后来随着雪地摩托的投入使用,也可以到达。
BWCAW(边界水域独木舟区荒野)被指定后,几乎所有前往莫尔特小屋的机动交通都被取消,住宅、建筑物、企业和来自荒野的几条道路也被拆除,使得莫尔特成为该地区唯一的全职居民。面积是罗德岛州三倍的荒野。她去世后,她的小屋被拆除并搬到伊利。她的住所和她的第二间小屋在那里重建,并建立了多萝西莫尔特博物馆来保存她的遗产。我们很喜欢探索博物馆。我对她了解得越多,我就越钦佩她和她的生活方式,这一定给她带来了如此多的幸福!多萝西用几块白桦树皮来做笔记;事实上,有时我也用树皮给朋友写信!
